More than Meets the Eye: A Tale of Modern and Contemporary Art from Africa | Author: Wade Ousseynou

Discover a century of African art, from its emergence to today's global success, driven by an ancestral vision and modern expression. The Swiss family-owned banking group CBH Compagnie Bancaire Helvétique SA has been putting together its own art collection for over fifteen years. Modern and contemporary African art is one of its major themes. The works in this catalogue (paintings, sculptures, photographs) span about a century (1929-2025). All were created by artists who were born, or spent part of their lives, in sub-Saharan Africa. The growing success of the African artists of today undoubtedly stems from the artistic legacy of their ancestors, whose dazzling colours reflect a profoundly original worldview that addresses social and environmental themes.
